Pakistan's UAV - Drone developments

[fatman17]

Looks very similar to the falco

No. It's a license-produced version of the Chinese CH-3 Armed Drone.

China, Pakistan signed a deal to build 48 strike-capable Wing Loong II drones (2018)

Wing Loong II unmanned aerial vehicles built by Chengdu Aircraft Corp (CAC), a unit of Aviation Industry Corp of China (AVIC), and Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) Karma. https://t.co/P7ZBO677cD

Didnt Pakistan decide to go for an in house product after Wing Loong failed to meet required parameters? We lost one during testing and evaluation phase so Pakistan wasn't satisfied with it. I think our in house wing loong based UCAV will include western subsystems and engine to meet requirements.

Actually l also thought as much but wanted some confirmation. So what is the in house version called Burraq perhaps

I didnt see any designation for new MALE UCAV under development. Burraq was older version based on CH3 with some input from falco. Apart from 3D renderings there isnt much info available on MALE UCAV.

Burraq clearly looks like a mated design between Falco and Shahpar removing all doubt that it was an in house activity not just a design transfer from china. Although shahpar has all the characteristics of CH3.

You're right it kind of does.

The Burraq is a licensed copy of the CH-3. PAC produces the Falco under license. The only indigenous (indigenously designed) UAV in this picture is on the extreme right. A UAV we should be proud of.

Recent success of Turkish UAVs must have caught PAFs interest.....
I hope something good do come out from that.

That one is falco i think bcz burraq as seen in its videos has horns so one in the center is most probably Buraq. One on the left is Shahpar.

Sorry if my post was confusing. Left to right in the picture: Falco, Burraq (CH-3) , Shahpar (edited original picture).

The 3 seem to be in the same class! in terms of capabilities and flight characteristics. might be unwise to have 3 in the same class unless each has purpose.

Agreed. I'm just glad the local guy still exists in the presence of the imported designs.
